Subject: [PATCH 3/5] cvsimport: Improve usage error reporting
Date: Fri,  6 Apr 2007 23:52:41 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <11758963642149-git-send-email-frank@lichtenheld.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <11758963643049-git-send-email-frank@lichtenheld.de>

Actually tell the user what he did wrong in case of usage errors
instead of only printing the general usage information.
